Free Video Quit Smoking Lessons

Imagine being a smoker, wanting to quit and bringing a professional quitting counselor into your home. Imagine being a doctor and instead of just telling smoking patients that they need to quit - something they all already knew - handing them a video disc containing more than twenty short counseling sessions.

A growing collection of quitting videos is being made available by Joel Spitzer, a full-time Chicago area smoking cessation counselor who has devoted more than 40 years to helping smokers break free.

Lessons range from understanding the emotional loss when quitting to the importance of maintaining stable blood sugar levels and avoiding low blood sugar symptoms. Spitzer helps quitters understand how each puff of nicotine fed them by pumping stored sugars and fats into their bloodstream and the need to return to eating normally again.

The only use requirements for Joel's materials is that there never be any charge or cost to those receiving them, that they always remain as freely available as they are online, and that copyrights remain in place so that those receiving them never attempt to profit from their use.

Joel Spitzer presented regular stop smoking clinics and seminars for the Evanston and
Skokie Illinois Departments of Health. Since 1976 he has presented 351 two-week, six-session clinics and nearly 600 single session seminars. Online, Spitzer has served as WhyQuit's Director of Education since 2000.
